Jadon Sancho sets one condition for Manchester United return

English winger Jadon Sancho is ready to return to Manchester United following the end of his loan spell with Borussia Dortmund but he has one condition for that.

Jadon Sancho is reportedly open to the idea of returning to Manchester United, but under one crucial condition.

The winger, who has been on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has had a tumultuous stint at Old Trafford, marked by falling out of favour with manager Erik ten Hag and public disagreements.

Sancho's time at United soured after he publicly complained about being left out of the side, leading to his loan move back to Dortmund in January. Since then, he has regained his form and impressed during Dortmund's journey to the Champions League final, where they narrowly lost to Real Madrid.

With uncertainty looming over Sancho's future, especially with Dortmund expressing interest in a permanent deal, United remains a potential destination. However, according to reports from The Mirror, Sancho's willingness to return hinges on the managerial situation at Old Trafford.

The winger reportedly believes that his future at United is contingent upon Ten Hag's departure. Sancho allegedly feels that reconciliation with Ten Hag is unlikely, especially after refusing to apologise for accusing the United boss of scapegoating him for the club's disappointing results.

Ten Hag's own future at United is uncertain, with reports swirling before the FA Cup final suggesting that he was on the verge of being sacked regardless of the outcome.

However, United's victory over Manchester City in the final may have bought the Dutchman more time, adding another layer of uncertainty to Sancho's decision-making process.

Sancho's initial move to United from Dortmund in 2021 saw him become one of the club's marquee signings, commanding a fee of £73 million. During his time at United, he made 82 appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists.

The ongoing saga between Sancho and Ten Hag underscores the complexities of player-manager relationships in modern football, with both parties holding firm on their positions as they navigate a potential reunion at Old Trafford.
